I hate being "the guy" who asks inane questions that can be easily answered with a quick look at the models, but this event kind of snuck up on me and I have only limited connectivity at the moment.  I am flying into PHL tomorrow afternoon.  As near as I can tell, whatever does fall should be finished by then, correct?  I am on a tight schedule on this trip so major delays could be a major bummer.

Don't see any snow falling on those cams?  I didn't play them, just glanced.  Airport reports from Dover AFB and Georgetown/Sussex County Airport and radar from Dover also make it hard for me to believe anything is reaching the ground.

 

So what say you Ray? I know the NAM stuck to its guns in the latest run, but I see nothing in radar trends or reports to make me the slightest bit optimistic for anything here.

PHI also issued a special weather statement for around an inch of snow in the next two tiers of counties to the northwest of their Advisories and WSW (basically covering 20 to 30 miles on either side of I-95). 

 

Damn, couldn't get any closer. I'm 15-20 miles NW of Philly....where do I sign up for an inch!

cam west of milford, do I need to clear my cache?

To be honest, looks like the camera is simply dirty. Flurries are tough to see on low resolution anyways.

I had the same thought, if you watch it, the cars move, but the pattern on the lens that looks like it could be snow doesn't change.

 

Yes, the "speckles" don't change at all.  Highly likely its just dirty.

"coating to 2 inches" or "around an inch" for Trenton area seems fine.  I don't forecast elsewhere unless asked to.
